Here ya go RC, Just to keep you up to date.

The Lions have reportedly offered a one-year contract to Caleb Campbell, their seventh-round pick in 2008. Campbell worked out with the Lions Tuesday at outside linebacker, running unofficial 4.49 and 4.50 forty times in drills. He was in Lions training camp in 2008 before the Army ordered him to report for duty. Campbell is still awaiting word from the Department of Defense on his NFL eligibility for 2010.

My daughter called me about this yesterday at 1:00 saying it was posted on his facebook and that his little brother Jeremy had just called her. If you remember the little brother has one leg and was the Gold Medalist in China in 3 events a few years back.

Thanks for remembering and posting this Coach!! I was at a funeral yesterday and just got back this A.M. and was coming on to brag!!! lol!

This is especially nice since this is a new GM and Coach. He just missed out on making a Bobsled team, but that is what he has been doing to stay in shape, and the explosion paid off in the 40 times.
